Hide and seek

Hide and seek...

The water is as cold as ice, but I don’t care I am with my friend making a huge sand castle and I like that.
Other adults, in colourful swimsuits, are chatting though I do not understand their gossip.
A couple of people came down. They must not see what they are looking for, they look desperate, then leave in about 30 seconds.
The smell of the river is refreshing, and the wind is just right; A nice warm breeze not too cold.
My friend’s dad comes over, saying they have to go.
Then someone comes running down the hill, They are is such a rush OH NO, it's dad I go up and hide in the bush. The bush is bright green like a highlighter, the wonderful smell floats up my nose, like a powerful perfume. Dad goes back just in time the bush is starting to scratch me like a cat clawing at a mouse.
I run up the hill and run back to the tent as fast as a bird that has a jet pack!
But dad caught me making my escape I mean I am only three, I’m not too fast.
“Alright you little… COME HERE!” Dad yells.
Now I have to take in the shouting from dad.
He has become his thunderous side again, and wants me to go straight home, though I can’t. When the horrible shouting noise stops mum comes calmly over and says, the whole of tui was looking for me…
